Default For sale: One Male Ego..

I am offering up one recently neutered and beaten down Male Ego. Although I suspected that this day would eventually arrive... it happened much sooner than I expected. Be that as it is, the time has come to part with what has for many years been a functional, perhaps over blown Male Ego. I am sure that with the right owner and proper encouragement, it can be brought back to it's previous levels.
I am willing to let this go cheap. It really has no future value to me. In fact, it has been removed from it's normal place and now resides in a small jar on my Wife's bookshelf.

I am not looking for much. Perhaps a bag of soft foam ear plugs, or a set of ear-muffs or anything else that blank out unwanted sounds such as "WOOO HOOOO, Who's yer MAMMA? etc.....

As evidence of my willingness to part with this 'no longer useful' piece of my make up.... I present one of TWO runs at today's SCCA Brooksville practice event, where my wife cleanly smokes my best time.

(A practice day, so not enough body count for course workers today, so everyone had to deal with some downed cones)

Open to offers.... in it's shrunken state, shipping will be minimal... Yellow_Colorz_PDT_08

PSSSTTT.... Mary..... down here... Just between you and me.... there is still tomorrow...

oh man Scott you can't even use the excuse its not your car because it really wans't hers to begin with either

congrats to Mary for picking up on this whole racing thing so quickly . looks like they did a Nationals start, nice.

personally i think you were hustled

shhhhh ... you didn't hear that from me

p.s. you could always use the excuse that her video taping all your runs for all that time gave her the intel and instruction she needed to run fast :shrug:

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

She found just the right blend of both! Tomorrow is the day to see if the results are repeatable.

I am waiting for the same thing to happen. At the last event Kris was 4/10ths behind me.. Soon I will be in the same boat..

Or I need make sure I always am driving a differnt car.

Good thing you didn't sell the FV...you can always flee to a different class.

REDEMPTION!!!! The Time/Space Continuum has been restored. For the time being at least. I fear that I may be posting again soon.. But for today, the balance has been restored. But only by 1/2 second

Next stop SEBRING!
